Is it possible to do a re installation of Fedora 19 where the file

There was a discussion about this some time ago but I didn't take much
notice then.

You can re-install, as long as you maintain the same LVM structure in
partitioning, and you can retain files if do not choose to reformat the
logical volume for '/home'
Thank you rmc.
No reason to change the LVM.
This however begs another question.
The installation was originally Fedora 18 which I upgraded to Fed19. I'm
guessing all the apps and installed files, like inkscape, scribus, etc
are in the /root part of the LVM aka /sbin /bin /usr /etc and so on --
is this correct?
Can I format only the /boot and /swap, will all those installed apps
remain intact, and be accessible as before?
TIA
